Have you ever wondered what would happen if the greatest baseball players from the past 140+ years would be able to realistically, based on historical statistics, compete against one another?

Nearly twenty-thousand (20,000) of the best (the B20000), one (1) season, baseball players’ statistics since 1871 were compared and ranked, largely using Bill James’ Runs Created* statistic and other statistics like WAR (Wins Against Replacement) for comparison.

Statistics used were official statistics for:

Batters

Hits

Base On Balls

Doubles

Triples

Home Runs

Stolen Bases

Caught Stealing

Runs

Runs Batted In

Batting Average

On Base Average (Percentage)

Runs Created

Pitchers

Wins

Losses

Saves

Innings Pitched

Appearances (Games)

Strikeouts

Base On Balls

Runs Allowed

Earned Runs

Wild Pitches

Hit Batsmen

Each season of the B20000 was then adjusted for league, year and park factor.

If the player was retired at least five years and has produced 5 or more seasons ranked in the B20000 (4 or more seasons for pitchers) – which left about one thousand players (the T1000) – they were considered for E S B and their best four or five seasons were used for the simulator

The combined totals for those 4 or 5 seasons (B5/P4) were combined for each T1000 player.
